This version of "20,000 Leauges Under the Sea" is very inventive. Almost like a totally new story based on Jules Verne's book. I personally love this version too. It's creative and so enjoyable to watch. I love the action and struggle between good and evil. The quest to try to be close to perfect, caring and understanding too all creation. It has some great themes. I also love how they added the romance between Professor Arronax's daughter and Captain Nemo and Ned Land. It's very sweet and endearing. Captain Nemo is very romantic in this version and more caring. But there's also penty of the original story in it, the main theme is there for freedom and trying to fight humanities injustice's to each other and create a better understanding and more compassionare world. The scene were Ned fights the sea monster is neat. I recommend this movie to all ages. It's am adventure and an exciting film. <br />I'd also highly recommend the 1950's film with James Mason and Kirk Douglas. The Disney version.
Viewer Reviews
Travelers on ocean ships reported a strange creature in the sea. It comes close to ships. One ship fires its cannons at it, the creature rammed the ship and damages it. Three travelers fell overboard from their ship. They are rescued, or captured, by the 'Nautilus', a submersible ship. [The interior of this ship shows an unbelievable amount of space!] They meet Nemo, the captain of this extraordinary ship. He tells them how they live off the sea. Nemo explains its replenishable power source. The conversations bring out the characters of the people.
They don special suits to travel underwater and observe life beneath the sea, where no man has gone before. Their electric guns drive away sharks. They use a speaking tube for communication. Nemo was a victim of Western imperialism and hopes to regain freedom for his country. Can Nemo's knowledge aid the suffering of humanity? At sea the 'Nautilus' is attacked by the USS Abraham Lincoln. [Too much irony?] There is an attack on the ship by a giant leviathan. Can they defeat this strange creature? Ned uses his harpoon and an explosive device to save the ship. Captain Nemo releases Dr. Aranax, his daughter Sophie, and Ned so they can return to land.
Films are the condensed and simplified versions of the novels they are taken from. You may prefer to read the original story of Jules Verne than this modified version. I suspect the political comments were toned down or omitted.
